The Obvious Lessou.

The letter from "a Straight Republican
in New York, which appears in another
column, sets forth in sharp outline the OBJ
vious lesson of Tuesdays election in the
Empire state so far as it relates to next
years national campaign. To us it seems
to emphasize strongly the correctness of the
position taken by The Phoenix some weeks
ago, when we pointed out the folly of net
ing on the idea so sedulously cultivated in
many quarters, that Mr. Blaine is the only
man that can be nominated next year, and
when we said that the true policy of the
Republican party is to put candidates who
mean reform on platform which says re-
form without any qualification The feel
ing in New York today is that Mr. Blaine
cannot carry that state next year. We
have always had strong confidence that the
Republican party, when it confronts the is
sue of the times six months hence. will act,
not in blind adherence to any narrow. one
man idea, but broadly, inclusively, and with
an eye single to what the good of the party
and of the country demands. The result
of Tuesdays elections should, and we be
lieve will, double the assurance that this
will he done
